Life Transitions
Sarah Koerner
Psychologist, PsyD
I have many years of experience helping clients through life transitions from having a child, getting married, going to college, job changes, and retiring. We all have times in life where we feel stuck and the way we've always done things isn't working for us anymore. Sometimes those stuck points look like feeling irritated, numb, scared, sad, or not able to turn off our thoughts. I create a supportive space to explore what’s working, and what's not working, in my clients' lives. Sessions with me feel like a real conversation with clinical info and suggestions peppered in. I believe humor and joy are often useful to help shift perspective. My goal is for clients to learn how to live in the present so that they can engage more fully in their lives.

Life Transitions
Amy @ Inner Nature Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Many folks come to therapy in the midst of a life transition. As someone who specializes in women's issues, I absolutely love supporting women who are entering pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, job changes, or divorce.

Life Transitions
Bridgit Serrano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Big life changes can disrupt our sense of stability and identity. Whether you’re adjusting to new parenthood, navigating relationship changes, moving, shifting careers, or entering a new stage of life, transitions can bring unexpected stress, grief, or self-doubt.
Therapy offers space to process what’s changing while strengthening your ability to adapt and move forward. As an LCSW trained in EMDR and certified in Perinatal Mental Health, I help clients work through difficult experiences, release old patterns, and navigate life transitions with greater resilience, clarity, and self-understanding.

Life Transitions
Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Major life transitions ; a new marriage, a career change, the loss of a relationship, becoming a parent, or simply the quiet sense that life needs to look different can shake even the most grounded person. Therapy provides a steady space to process what's changing, clarify what you want, and move forward with more intention and confidence. Transitions are hard. They're also an invitation to grow.

Life Transitions
Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Life transitions – whether you chose them or they chose you – have a way of pulling the rug out from under your sense of who you are. Maybe your kids moved back home when you thought you'd finally have space for yourself. Maybe you're changing careers, ending a relationship, moving to a new city, facing an empty nest, dealing with a health diagnosis, or watching your parents age. These in-between spaces are disorienting. The old rules don't apply anymore, but the new ones aren't clear yet. I work with clients navigating these liminal zones where everything feels uncertain and nothing feels solid. We'll explore who you're becoming now that you're no longer who you were, grieve what you're leaving behind (even the parts you wanted to leave), and build a foundation for what comes next. Transitions aren't problems to solve quickly – they're thresholds to cross thoughtfully. I'll help you find your footing without rushing the process or pretending the messiness isn't real.
